The sciatic nerve of adult rats was crushed at the sciatic notch and tested for nerve regeneration at intervals up to 56 days postoperatively. At the time of testing, the sciatic nerve was removed and immersed in mineral oil (37 C) in a chamber containing sixty-six parallel electrodes at 1 mm interv...
